Geological⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Mooney⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D English| OR: 83| C

3/1

Has hit the frame in ten starts over C&D and the four-time course winner could have a couple in trouble if getting to the front from stall 4.

Form: 328333

Excellently Poised³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Brien| OR: 78| D

10/1

£8,000 purchase from Bryan Smart before finishing eighth of 16 on first start for the yard in a Navan handicap last month. Not easily dismissed.

Form: 04-2408

(2)

Amanaat^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 76

13/2

Running well in defeat on turf over the summer and here over 6f earlier this month but needs to raise overall performance to add to his sole AW success at Kempton when with John Gosden.

Form: 227245

Dash D'Or¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 75| CD

4/1

Has really found her form this autumn and made it two wins from her last three starts at Navan before striking over C&D earlier this month off an 8lb lower mark. Strong claims on hat-trick bid.

Form: 221011

Nigg Bay^v³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 74| D

6/1

Solid and consistent sort whose second of 10 over C&D in May puts the Exceed And Excel gelding in the mix here.

Form: 021437

Rego Park Lady¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C P Hoban| T: A Murray| OR: 68

12/1

Well held over C&D beaten over 7L on debut 11-months ago. Generally well held since and hard to place any faith in from stall 10.

Form: 440340

(8)

Ducky Mallon^t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 67

5/1

Tough and consistent gelding but all career wins have been at 6f and feeling is the minimum trip could be against him.

Form: 191303

(7)

Doonard Prince^b¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-4| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 61| C| D

7/1

Course winner that has also won over this trip. Promising third of 17 beaten ¾L earlier this month in a Naas 5f handicap and capable of a decent show.

Form: 043003

(6)

Dance Alone⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: D English| OR: 60| C| D

12/1

Two from 14 at this venue, last win coming here in May off a 2lb lower mark. Plenty more needed dropping in trip.

Form: 580808

(5)

Tell Me^p,t⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 57

25/1

Not beaten far in a couple of starts at this course over further at the turn of the year. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 49-4307

Forecasts

Geological (3/1), Dash D'Or (4/1), Ducky Mallon (5/1), Nigg Bay (6/1), Amanaat (13/2), Doonard Prince (7/1), Excellently Poised (10/1), Dance Alone (12/1), Rego Park Lady (12/1), Tell Me (25/1)

Regular front-runner GEOLOGICAL may set a decent pace from the front dropping in trip and could have a couple of these in trouble some way out. The gallant six-year-old is taken told hold off the late challenges of C&D winner and hat-trick seeking Dash D'or and Nigg Bay who holds leading claims following his run over C&D in May.
